As I stepped into the sanctuary, I encountered the tangible presence of God. Something was very different. Although the service didn’t start for another half hour, the tangible presence of the Lord greeted me as I entered the room. The place was heavy with His presence. In silence I sat down, wondering what made thisplace […]
A firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone. This is the dictionary definition of the word, trust. In the Strong’s Concordance, trust is defined as to have confidence in, to be secure, to feel safe, and to have no care. Lately, I have been compelled to take a good, hard look […]
Today, I want to share an article with you from my friend, Karen Hardin…enjoy! I felt strongly that this week we needed to pray regarding the financial struggle many are facing both personally as well as our national debt. Debt is debilitating. So is lack. Anyone who has had to look at bills and decide […]
Have you ever heard a single word from God that stopped you in your tracks and lit you up at the same time? I heard such a word several months ago. Today, God brought that word back to my remembrance. Could it be that it is for such a time as this? We’ve heard, “One […]
The ten-hour drive seemed to wash away as I stepped from my vehicle and the atmosphere of the city engulfed me. The very air was electric with faith, a tangible faith that one could feel. I had never experienced anything like it before. That day was life-changing for me. I learned that you could change […]
This morning, I was reminded of something God once said to me. At the time, those four words made no sense to me. The words were, “Let this season end.” The emphasis was on the word let. I thought it was odd that He was telling me to let it happen, The word let is defined as; to not prevent, to […]
It was late afternoon, as I drove up the highway, heading home. My attention was captured by the impending weather change. With a glance upward, I observed the rolling fog, slowly ebbing down the mountains before me. “It’s going to be a foggy morning tomorrow,” I shared with my daughter. As those words came across […]
As I concluded my teaching at the church on worship, a friend approached me and shared what the Lord had said to her. “We are not prepared to receive the outpouring God has planned for us.” He said. Those words took me back to another time a couple decades ago when the Lord said I […]
I want to share another interesting thing about eagles. In my study, I discovered, they have two sets of eyes. The first set is their natural eyes, which they use anytime they are in resting mode. These are the eyes they use most often. However, when they start to take flight on strong winds, they […]
In continuing my research on eagles, I want to share another characteristic of the eagle with you today. If you have ever seen an eagle fly, you know they fly without flapping their wings. They don’t flap; they soar. Eagles are born with large and heavy wings. Part of their survival skill is that they […]
Recently, I have been teaching a series at a local church on the subject of worship. The first night I taught, God brought a couple people who I hadn’t seen in many years to the meeting. I was surprised and very happy to see them. Since there was more than one person, and neither from […]
I was studying a couple weeks ago and heard this; To manifest a promise, faith needs three things. What could faith need? It needs a seed. It needs confession and it needs action. Let’s look first at the seed. Luke 8:11 says; the seed is the Word of God. Many people expect Gods word to […]
One night as I was trying to go to sleep, one scripture kept going through my mind over and over. This scripture is found in Isaiah 55:10-12 – the part of it that kept running through my mind was, My word will not return void. I simply could not get that scripture off my mind. […]
I once read a story that was so good it has stuck with me for several years. Today, it again came to mind. As the story was told, a pilot was in the midst of his flight for the day when he saw something that terrified him. Out of the corner of his eye, he […]

Recently, the Lord has been reminding me of a foundational scripture. Before I share that scripture, I want to share the scripture He is using to take me there. Every so often, God will speak a scripture to me from the Old Testament, found in Jeremiah 6:16. Thus says the Lord: “Stand in the ways and see, […]
I read an article one day that I found quite interesting. The title was, What causes us to choke when we are under pressure? Even the title caught my attention because at that precise moment I was dealing with some things. I had even thought about giving up. The article talked about a basketball player […]
I recently read an article about a Peace Offering. I am very interested in the Old Testament and in the symbolism of that testament. Since I read the article, each day at some point, a peace offering would come to mind, therefore I decided to re-read the article and study the subject a bit. I […]
One morning a few years ago, I arrived at work with a black eye. As I looked at it in the mirror that morning, trying, but failing, to cover it up – I had to smile. You see, I didn’t fall, no one hit me, at least not on purpose. The person who hurt me […]
This morning, as I awoke, the first thing I heard was a scripture; it is found in Isaiah 60, which says, “Arise and shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” As I meditated on this scripture, excitement began to build. I jumped out of bed and […]
